Lacunae in the effective state regulation of corporate advertisements

Democracy in a capitalist world entails a structure of liberalised trade and a 'free market'. However, it is often to be found that the state machinery is compelled by structural and practical obligations to give in to the sway of corporate entities. Advertisements aimed at children, targeting their lunchboxes, drive them away from nutritious, healthy food habits, quite against their own interest. The state, due to compulsions of electoral financing from the corporate entities, fails to regulate such practices, even though they are evidently against the interest of the vulnerable age group. The dilemma of democracy in juxtaposition with a free trade regime is the focus of this paper.

Keywords: corporate advertisements, state regulation, democracy, children, Television without Frontiers Directive, TVwFD, India, free trade, healthy eating

  • Comparison of viscoelastic models with a different number of parameters for transient simulations

    The numerical and analytical models used for transient simulations, and hence for the pressurized pipe system diagnosis, require the definition of a rheological component related to the pipe material. The introduction and the following widespread use of polymeric material pipes, characterized by a viscoelastic behavior, increased the complexity and the number of parameters involved in this component with respect to metallic materials. Furthermore, since tests on specimens are not reliable, a calibration procedure...

  • Power and policy in floodplain management, drawing on research in Alberta, Canada

    Floodplain management policy (FMP) implementation and change involve a range of actors and opportunities for power to be exercised. Considering four different conceptualizations of power, this paper explores the actors and instances where power emerges in FMP implementation and change, using Alberta, Canada, as our focus. We consider which conceptualization is most reflective of the Alberta context. We conclude that all four views of behaviour are relevant here, with some power dynamics between actors more...

  • Green Intentions in the Brexit White Paper?

    Following the recent Parliamentary vote where MPs approved legislation allowing for Article 50 to be triggered, and as we hurtle towards Theresa May’s own end-of-March deadline, the United Kingdom Government has published its previously promised Brexit White Paper (officially known as `The United Kingdom’s exit from and partnership with the European Union White Paper`). The intention of the Paper is to provide an indication of the position the Government will take on key issues surrounding Brexit...

  • Optimal waste load allocation using graph model for conflict resolution

    In this paper, a new methodology is proposed for waste load allocation in river systems using the decision support system (DSS) for the graph model for conflict resolution II (GMCRII), multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) analysis and the Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm. Minimization of total treatment and penalty costs and minimization of biological oxygen demand violation of standards at the check point are considered as the main objectives of this study. At first, the water...
